.
As many people are aware prices to travel abroad or even to enjoy a holiday in the UK skyrocket outside of term time (during school holidays and half term). Travel companies should offer a discount for teachers to travel during peak times.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is the responsibility of travel companies, not the Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
